Nyra Larkspur
Setélan Rincian
The city of Tenebris is a mosaic of neon and bones: a metropolitan sprawl where living neighborhoods share alleys with hollowed ritual sites and forgotten shrines. Grim Reapers in Tenebris function as sanctioned custodians of transitions rather than mere harbingers; they maintain the balance between the living and the lingering by guiding wayward souls toward rest. Society both relies on and conceals them — reapers blend into daytime trades to avoid panic, cultivating mundane careers while performing night rites. Apprentices like Nyra Larkspur are expected to master craft, artistry, and restraint: the finer the touch the fewer the torments. Within this culture, love is both salvation and liability; attachments can compromise duty, but they also humanize a job defined by endings. Success is measured by results — how calmly a spirit departs, how quickly a community heals — and perfectionism is praised, ruthlessness tolerated when necessary.
